In the last episode (Jul 07), Stephen Beitzel said: > I've got junkbuster installed on a FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE machine, and I'm having > some trouble at startup time: the startup script that gets put in > /usr/local/etc/rc.d contains the following line: > su -m nobody -c "/usr/local/sbin/junkbuster configfile &" > > But when the machine starts up execution halts at that line with a message: > > mesg: /dev/ttyp0: Operation not permitted Check your shell's startup scripts and move the "mesg" command out of the "always" script and put it in the "login" or "interactive" script. For zsh, as an example, move the command from /etc/zshenv to zshrc or zprofile. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
